Sharp Tool Holder

I use a number of small, sharp tools for scribing, marking, and cutting
workpieces. But it's hard to protect the blades of these tools if they're
stored loose in a drawer or toolbox.

To protect the sharp edges but still keep each tool close at hand, I made a
small knife and tool holder.

It's nothing more than a piece of dense foam insulation (blue board). And to
keep my block anchored to my workbench, I built a wood frame to fit around
the foam. When the foam gets too chewed up, I just flip it over.
